on Main near Adams street, are men
toned.
1t was hoped that r. f. Wirsching
would allow his name to be placed on
the ticket from the Fourth Ward,
but he stated last night that he pos
itively declined to run, owing to
business engagements and an eastern
trip which will extend over period
of SIX months. He desired however
to return thanks to those who pro-
posed his nomination.
John Hanley of the First Ward also
declined to run, but his friends state
that they hope they can induce him
to accept the nomination.
Residents of the Fifth Ward seem
to be very anxious to have John Z.
Moran run from that part OF the city
and are convinced that he would
properly represent them, since he has
been in the Council and understands
its business.
A number of the prominent citizens
of the Fourth Ward met last evening
and drew upt the following letter which
is self explanatory:
Los ANGELES, CAL,
November %, 1887.
EDrroRs HERALD: Believing that
the best interests of this city, and es-
pecially those of the Fourth Ward, of
which we are old residents, will be
served by the election to the office OF
Councilman Of B. Cohn, we should
like, with the majority of voters OF
that ward, to earnestly protest against
that gentleman declining nomina-
ten by the Democracy sure to be
given him.
We understand that Mr.. COIN is
inclined not to accept such nomina-
ton. We hope, with all good citizens
OF the Fourth, irrespective OF party
utilization, that he may see fit to do
now as he has in the past-serve the
city and stand by his party. Let Mr..
Cohn not decline.
